Aaron,

When you mention "default" namespace, are you instead
trying to use a "no namespace" arena?

XML documents and fragments with no target namespace prefix
are allocated to the "no namespace" arena.

A namespace_name can be associated with more than one prefix.
The use of any of the prefixes can then validate to a
proper namespace.  Namespaces are bound to prefixes by the
XML Parser.  A Stylesheet can have its own namespace prefix
bindings that are emitted by the XML output method.

Nested namespace (xmlns:prefix='namespace_name') assignments
are allowed.  Parent namespaces that share a prefix that
has been redefined in the child element are not available
within the scope of the child element.

Any namespace (xmlns:prefix) mappings in the parent are
inherited by the child, but can be overwritten by the child
context.

Xalan now has the ability to associate parsed XML documents
with a top-level parameter name.

Documents are parsed using the Xerces-C XML Parser library.

The way a resolver works is to map a URL or system file
pathname to a resource.  The resolver then pushes a reader
onto the XML Reader stack to start reading from the new
object (XML Document or fragment).

The XPath document() function returns a parsed nodeset object.
It uses the installed entity resolver that performs the
above mentioned operation by submitting a bytestream of
data to an XML parser so that a parsed nodeset object can
be returned by document().

Sincerely,
Steven J. Hathaway
